Progressive Web apps are an important feature of a browser that Firefox is the only one missing. For some, it can be the reason to switch to another browser. In other cases like for the Steamdeck, it's what imposed the choice to only include Chrome in the SteamOS interface. Other problem even for avid Firefox users, since I wanted Social apps on my pc I had to get them on the Microsoft Store which is an Edge PWA that opens every link in an Edge window, making me use this... other browser. ...

With the version Firefox 109 release, you added this new button without the option to change its position or move into the overflow area. Please let use move it. I can remove/hide almost every other UI element in the browser, why not this? ... View more

When I'm debugging font-face issues on my websites, I often get confused because I don't really know if it's the web font which is loading, or if it's my locally installed font (and I can't take for granted that every one of my users have that specific font installed). The "font" tab in the Firefox inspector really helps with this, and I suppose a checkbox here to disable (and/or highlight) local fonts would help debugging fonts even more easily. ... View more

The AI in sidebar looks good, but it would be really awesome if you add a shortcut for more usability. Clicking by mouse every time to open chat is very uncomfortable and takes long time! Also it would be convenient to open some items from sidebar menu on the left side, whereas AI opened on the right side. Thanks!  ... View more

Setting permissions.default.image to '2' ("never load") is pretty useful in a cultural environment of prolific use of disgusting or unnecessary images. However, while reading and researching, sometimes it would be advantageous for the browser to be able to load an image pointed by the user, instead of the user having to download the linked image file to open it and only then being able to see the image for its contents. The value '2' in permissions.default.image means the browser will never load images, not even directly acessed by remote URLs, only local (file://etc); the value '0' makes the browser to only load images from the same source as the webpage. In both cases a load-once button in the image space can be pretty useful. Use case scenario: set permissions.default.image to '2' and search Wikipedia for a map. Click the load button in the images whose labels indicate they can be the map you are searching for. ... View more

I wanted to delete all unread messages. Little did I know that Thunderbird only allows us to sort all read messages in ascending or descending order. This means that if I select all messages at once, I might delete all the read messages along with the unread ones. This is just an example of read/unread messages. Now think about all the sorting options where I want to filter multiple circumstances, here in these situations, things might get a little too difficult. Hence, an advanced sorting and filter option is indeed a needed feature for all Thunderbird platforms. ... View more

The IETF recently finalized a new, awesome standard for storing contacts. It’s called JSContact, and it is specified in RFC 9553. It would be great if Thunderbird supported it, or even better, made it its default! Furthermore, RFC 9554 standardizes how to convert from and to VCard.

I have been using Thunderbird for many years but have recently started using Thunderbird on the Android. I am really not a fan of the way folders are displayed within the application. Inbox/Folder-1/Folder-2 Would like to see this improved to display folders in a tree format style. ... View more

I suggest adding a button to the widget for the Android platform for instant manual download of messages from all email accounts. Preferably at the bottom of the widget so that the button is available when operating the phone with one hand. Advantages: this gives me access to received emails at the moment I need them and I don't have to wait for automatic synchronization. Other email clients have been using this for many years. Thanks! 🙂 ... View more

When viewing PDF document and pressing Page up or Page Down, PDF scrolls entire page. It would be nicer if at least one or two lines would be still visible as it was before pressing Page Up or Down. Something like web pages. Edge does it for pdf also. Mozilla could also. Thank you ... View more

If you have several email accounts they are shown in a coloured "icon" with 2 letters which seem to be taken from the mail server name. For example if the server name is gmail.com the icon is shown as "GM". If you have 2 Gmail accounts they are both shown as "GM". The only customisation that you can do is to change the colour of the "icon". It would be nice to either select the two letters displayed or use an account image. Note that the 3 accounts "GM" are all gmail.com accounts but the only display difference I can set is the colour.  ... View more

Hello, I would like to request a few tweaks to the "add bookmark" pop up from the address bar (photo attached). First, I have alot of folders/subfolders. I like that the initial floating menu has a few of the recent locations shown at the bottom of the list, but i find myself with some relative frequency going to "Choose" to navigate my folder tree and find the existing subfolder. This is where I find that the small choose window is very tiny and it would be nice to be able to stretch out the popup window, especially downwards, but sideways wouldn't be terrible as well. Many Microsoft Windows and web applications include a resize (including this mozilla submit editor's "body" that i'm typing in now) so it would be great to be able to expand that tiny window and the overall popup that only currently allows the viewing of 5 lines. Would be *nice* to have a lot of freedom there, like to stretch it down and sideways quite liberally, but if not, even just getting it to 15-20 rows down would be a big improvement to settle for imo. Additionally, and/or alternatively and/or interim-ly (not a word) when dealing with the existing very small 5 lines in that small window, the behavior seems to "recall" if, in the past, or in the current session, i have expanded folders in my tree. This makes scrolling up and down through folders and subfolders to land in the correct folder challenging as well as it might be hard to recall which one of the top level folders i'm in looking in at the moment etc. So, it would be nice if there was some collapsing elements added. A few suggestions would be: -If I collapse the highest/top level folder, all subfolders will collapse so when i re-open the top level, i can see the next tier collapsed -A "Collapse all" "button" or rightclick menu option to avoid adding more buttons to that small window -Perhaps the default to add the bookmark "choose" could default to all collapsed instead of remembering where it was last time? Not sure if people consider this a bug or a feature to have it recall, i think it's nice only sometimes when I'm bookmarking similar pages within a short session that are related, but most other times it's not as convenient, so i'm not sure if this is a one-size-fits-all suggestion   ...

From the previous post on Crowdicity: I would like to see vertical tabs baked in. MS Edge now has it out of the box! I currently use addons for this - but there's no way to disable the top tab bar, which duplicates the tabs and takes up space. Vertical tabs (with top bar disabled) would free up more space for web content, which is (usually) vertical. Most screens are widescreen (RIP ThinkPad 4:3 ratios), so the less browser UI at the top/bottom, the more content we can view.

When viewing PDF documents the cursor is either "Select Text" or "Drag Document" (with a hand icon). A context aware "intelligent" cursor would toggle between these two automatically. It is Text select when over text area, but drag document when over an empty area. (For normal websites this can be achieved with the 'ScrollAnywhere' addon) ... View more

I think it's a great opportunity for Firefox to stand out by supporting JPEG XL before any other browser. Imagine images served by Cloudflare and Cloudinary load faster and look better only with Firefox. Firefox was a pioneer of web technologies and it should win the title back, if Firefox just keep following Chrome without any differentiation, why would people choose Firefox? If the decoder memory safety is a concern, maybe Mozilla can start a crowd funding campaign to sponsor a Rust decoder, even the campaign itself will attract reports and attentions for Firefox. Mozilla argued AVIF was already supported as a same generation but clearly JPEG XL has many advantages: Much better encoding performance (AVIF is not suitable for realtime CDN optimization at all) lossless and better high fidelity (video codec based image format) HDR (there will be a billion of mobile devices with real good & bright screen in just a few years) Little generation loss (important for web) Supports from Facebook, Adobe (they're adding export support), Intel and VESA, Krita, The Guardian, libvips, Cloudinary, Shopify ...
